Within the last year, I have done or am doing all of the following:
- Found this forum. Appreciate all the info and the nice people on here. Read the new posts every day including when I'm traveling for business.
- Whenever I get done with new postings I go back and read some jokes.
- Signed up with Mint to track our actual spending in preparation for ER. Did the first review last week and DW was surprised at how little we spend.
- Calculated our retirement finances numerous ways. Favorites include:
- ********
- i-orp
- ESPlanner paid
- firecalc
- my own google spreadsheet
- roth rollover calculator (from bogleheads member)
- And others include:
- Vanguard, Fidelity, and numerous others
- Had a planning session with a Vanguard financial planner, who told me we look great. Gave that session less than perfect credibility and reverted back to my own calculations.
- Accepted the "2.5%" mantra.
- Originally predicted ER 2019 at 62 but now waffling between 2018 and 2017.
